-Richard
Gere
Driving
South
to
Richmond,
Washington
Post
reporter
John
Klein
(Richard
Gere)
finds
himself
unexpectedly
way
off
course--in
the
small
town
of
Point
Pleasant,
West
Virginia--knocking
on
the
door
of
Gordon
and
Denise
Smallwood
(Tom
Patton
and
Lucinda
Jenney).
Gordon
is
irate.
This
is
the
third
night
in a
row
that
Klein
has
knocked
on
his
door
at 2
a.m.
When
Sgt.
Connie
Parker
(Laura
Linney)
arrives
to
investigate,
Klein
discovers
this
is
just
one
of
many
strange
events
occurring
in
the
town.
With
Parker's
help,
Klein
investigates.
Soon,
he
becomes
convinced
that
some
catastrophe
is
about
to
occur.
In
THE
MOTHMAN
PROPHECIES,
scriptwriter
Richard
Hatem
and
director
Mark
Pellington
play
upon
the
strange
events
that
reportedly
occurred
in
Point
Pleasant
in
the
mid-1960s.
As
in
ARLINGTON
ROAD,
Pellington
makes
great
use
of a
restless,
prowling
camera
and
ominous
sound
effects
provided
by
sound
editor
Kelly
Cabral,
sound
mixer
Pud
Cusack
(she
also
worked
on
ARLINGTON
ROAD),
and
sound
designer
Claude
Letessier.
Pellington
gets
fine
performances
from
Gere,
Linney,
Patton,
Alan
Bates
as a
paranormal
investigator,
and
Debra
Messing--striking
in
the
too-small
role
of
Klein's
wife--before
he
produces
a
spectacular
final
sequence.
